recent tips

Short-term fundraising tactics don’t just burn donors out. They burn trust.
Donors might forget what you say, but they won’t forget how you made them feel.
If staff members feel valued, they’ll pass that appreciation along to donors and volunteers.
Give your regular monthly donors a fun or compelling name, showing them they are part of a unique “club” of sustainers.
Keep your donors informed and inspired with authentic impact stories and engagement opportunities.
Successful donor relationships aren’t build on asks alone. Stay in touch year-round with impact updates and appreciation.
